slipping down the cobblestone and feeling groovy

a simon & garfunkle song popped into my head today...my dad used to sing the phrase to us often growing up--'slow down, you move too fast.  got to make the morning last, oh.  slippin' down the cobblestone...something, something, something...feeling groovy.'  (obviously i wasn't listening all the way because a phrase is completely escaping me!)

i love the simplicity of it--SLOW DOWN.

took the boys and dog for an after-lunch walk today.  we went a different route, slowed down and got to see something cool!  close to us, there is a greenspace with lots of big trees.  we were enjoying the shade, listening (which is a big thing to ask my two boys to do!) and got to watch a round of four young squirrels playing hide and seek/tag/tackle.  it was hilarious to watch.  we stayed until they were done playing.  if we were on a mission to hurry and get around the block, we would have missed a moment.  it was a simple moment, but a good one.  what a groovy feeling.  thanks simon & garfunkle and dad!
